Productive "Inclement Weather Day"

No school for us today as it is an Inclement Weather Make Up Day we did not use.  It's really nice to have a day home without any pressing plans.  I'm hoping to get the following accomplished today--

1.  Make Yellow Cake Cupcakes with Homemade Chocolate Frosting
2.  Make Salsa and Caramel Corn
3.  6 loads of laundry- start to finish
     6  5  4  3  2  1
4.  Grocery Store
5.  Put out Easter Decorations
6.  Make Menu Plan for the week
7.  Start weeding raised garden beds

I'll see how much I get done... might add afew other projects.

Productive Presidents' Day Holiday

With 4 days off from school for the Presidents' Day Holiday I feel the need to be productive.  And by being productive, I don't mean pinning hundreds of things I WANT to do, but rather actually doing things I NEED to do.  This is my accountability post.  Hopefully by the time I go back to school on Wednesday most, if not all of my "to-dos" will be crossed off the list.

1.  Clean out the refrigerator - including taking out all the shelves and washing them down)
2.  8 loads of laundry, yes 8 - start to finish, including folding, putting away and IRONING
      8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1
3.  Amazing dinner - Crab and Shrimp Etouffe and Homemade Foccacia Bread
4.  Make February Counterfeit Kit I even got my kit posted! - My February Kit
5.  Make lunch and snack items - Pimento Cheese, Caramel Corn and maybe Hummus
6.  Clean out utensil drawer in kitchen
7.  Color Hair

I will probably add more items as I come across projects that need to be completed.
